Hi Victoria,All of those individuals could hold the solution to your problem but may not necessarily offer budget friendly options as they have their own additional fees for such service.I would suggest speaking with a Carpenter or General Contractor who specializes in Kitchens and Baths as they can assist with the design and execution of the project.As far as some options that you have (without seeing you kitchen) you can refinish the cabinets to update the color, replace the cabinet doors to a modern style, or update the counter top and backsplash.

@Ted Hendry,It's not fun, and it's the dark side of the business.

Would love to connect some time to get some more color on how your journey is going!

Get a black light and forever have nightmares in the dark. 

@Joseph Senno I would think most improvements would be 100% on the landlord unless the tenant wants to select colors, etc, or it is being done to repair tenant caused damages.

I need a color for my walls, living room, bedroom and bathroom.
